This is a standard "clean out libstd" commit which removes all 1.5-and-before
deprecated functionality as it's now all been deprecated for at least one entire
cycle.
Closure variables represent the closure environment, not the closure
function, so the identifier used to ensure that the debuginfo is unique
for each kind of closure needs to be based on the closure upvars and not
the function signature.
We're currently using the actual function type as the return type when
creating the debug info for a function, so we're actually creating
debug info for a function that takes the same parameters, and returns
the actual function type, which is completely wrong.
LLVM has recently created their 3.7 release branch, and this PR updates us to that point. This should hopefully mean that we're basically compatible with the upcoming 3.7 release. Additionally, there are a number of goodies on this branch.
* This contains a fix for https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23957
which should help us bootstrap farther on 32-bit MSVC targets.
* There is better support for writing multiple flavors of archives, allowing us
to use the built-in LLVM support instead of the system `ar` on all current
platforms of the compiler.
* This LLVM has SafeStack support
* An [optimization patch](7cf5e26e18) by @pcwalton is included.
* A number of other minor test fixes here and there.
Due to problems dealing with the data layout we pass to LLVM, this PR also takes the time to clean up how we specific this. We no longer specify a data layout to LLVM by default and instead take the default for the target from LLVM to pass to the module that we're building. This should be more robust going into the future, and I'm also not sure we know what any of these arcane strings are any more...
Most of these are old, but some specific messages for specific tests:
* trait-contravariant-self.rs: failed due to a soundess hole:
05e3248a79
* process-detatch: 15966c3c1f
says "this test is being ignored until signals are implemented" That's
not happening for a long time, and when it is, we'll write tests for
it.
* deep-vector{,2}.rs: "too big for our poor macro infrastructure", and has
been ignored over a year.
* borrowck-nested-calls.rs's FIXME #6268 was closed in favor of
rust-lang/rfcs#811
* issue-15167.rs works properly now
* issue-9737.rs works properly now
* match-var-hygiene.rs works properly now
Addresses a chunk of #3965
GDB and LLDB pretty printers have some common functionality
and also access some common information, such as the layout of
standard library types. So far, this information has been
duplicated in the two pretty printing python modules. This
commit introduces a common module used by both debuggers.
This PR solves #21559 by making sure that unreachable if-expressions are not further translated.
Could someone who knows their way around `trans` take a look at the changes in `controlflow.rs`? I'm not sure if any other code relies on any side-effects of translating unreachable things.

This permits all coercions to be performed in casts, but adds lints to warn in those cases.
Part of this patch moves cast checking to a later stage of type checking. We acquire obligations to check casts as part of type checking where we previously checked them. Once we have type checked a function or module, then we check any cast obligations which have been acquired. That means we have more type information available to check casts (this was crucial to making coercions work properly in place of some casts), but it means that casts cannot feed input into type inference.
[breaking change]
* Adds two new lints for trivial casts and trivial numeric casts, these are warn by default, but can cause errors if you build with warnings as errors. Previously, trivial numeric casts and casts to trait objects were allowed.
* The unused casts lint has gone.
* Interactions between casting and type inference have changed in subtle ways. Two ways this might manifest are:
- You may need to 'direct' casts more with extra type information, for example, in some cases where `foo as _ as T` succeeded, you may now need to specify the type for `_`
- Casts do not influence inference of integer types. E.g., the following used to type check:
```
let x = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Because the cast would inform inference that `x` must have type `u32`. This no longer applies and the compiler will fallback to `i32` for `x` and thus there will be a type error in the cast. The solution is to add more type information:
```
let x: u32 = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
